The Experience
You pilot your own jet ski while a guide leads the route on theirs. The tour covers Maho and Mullet Bay, Simpson Bay, Baie Rouge Beach, Happy Bay, and the smaller coves around Grand Case and Friar's Bay—places you cannot reach by car. A 10-minute stop at Grand Case shows you the Rocher Créole rock formation in a nature reserve and the restaurants lining the bay. The guide adjusts speed and stops based on what you want: adrenaline or a slower pace through the water.
You'll swim at Happy Bay and Baie Rouge if you choose to, and pass under the Simpson Bay bridge to see the yachts moored in the lagoon. The signature moment is the stop at Maho Beach, where you watch planes descend toward the runway just offshore—close enough to see them clearly but from the water instead of the crowded beach. Mullet Bay, quieter and almost rock-free, is another swim option with white sand visible below the surface.
The 2-hour window covers all five stops and the return to base. A professional guide who speaks French, Spanish and English is there to manage safety and timing. One passenger rides free on your jet ski; the machine holds two people maximum. Souvenir photos are available for purchase at €20 per jet ski if you want shots of yourself on the water.

Is this one for you?You pilot your own jet ski, which means you control the speed and decide when to stop—ideal if you want the adrenaline of riding rather than watching someone else drive, or if you prefer to move at your own pace through the bays. The guide stays with you the whole time, so you're not navigating alone.

Can I ride the jet ski myself or do I need experience?

What beaches do we actually stop at during the 2 hours?
The tour includes stops at Happy Bay, Baie Rouge Beach, and Mullet Bay for swimming, plus a 10-minute viewing stop at Grand Case to see the Rocher Créole and the bay's restaurants. You also pass Simpson Bay and Maho Beach, where planes land near the water.
Can I bring my kids on this jet ski tour?
Children are welcome from age 16 and must be accompanied by an adult. One passenger rides free on the jet ski with the pilot, so a child can ride along with you.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The tour is canceled if conditions are unsafe—rain, storms or large waves mean the activity won't run. You'll be offered another date or a full refund.
